We are 1 hour south of Minneapolis or St. Paul, 43 miles from the Mpls. airport, about 7 min. from Faribault, MN and from I-35. Please go to the Ordering Information Page for directions. Half of the time people using GPS get lost because the road in front of our house has 3 different names: Dover Trail, 150th St., Co.9. And this address has changed 3 times since 1987. (If you are coming on Co. 9 or 150th from the northwest and using Google Maps stay on Co. 9 or 150th St. rather than turning left onto Co. Rd. 36 which is also part of Dover Trail. We are about 3 blocks beyond the County 36 (also Dover Trail) intersection.

We can send you precise directions, too.

Upcoming Shih- Poos

This was a previous Shih- Poo of ours which an owner sent to us. EXPECT PUPPIES LIKE THIS BORN SEPT.14TH!

Click:​www.ariasfriends.com/scrapbook.html to see a slide show of some previously sold puppies sent by owners.​*We are just getting started with this as we have 28 years of dog breeding and many unposted pictures.

Pictures in slideshow below are some examples of breeds and colors we offer.

We are now between spring and fall breeding. If you want a puppy that will be ready Oct.- Dec. this year now is the time to request that or visit. Please scroll to the bottom of this page if you want to see the reservation list which we try to keep current so you know what is available.

So what comes with my puppy?

*Each puppy comes with a writtenlifetime congenital health guarantee, bill of sale, copy of the MN law, signed veterinary health certificate, up to date on shots/worming-- health record, International AKC microchip, puppy food, variety treat bag, hip and joint treats, tooth brush, dental tool, measuring cup for food, small toy, and information to help you have a successful relationship with your puppy, along with pictures! You can read the information we will cover on www.ariasfriends.com/raising-a-good-puppy.html​*With our poodles, our main breed still and for 28 years, limited AKC registration papers will accompany the puppy. This AKC registration allows for everything but AKC conformation showing or breeding. If you want that it must be negotiated with us and full AKC breeding rights are possible only to those who have a proven record of genetic testing and selection or need the full registration to show in the conformation ring. Most are only seeking a good companion/pet which we do well. ​

You'll also be able to visit multiple times to watch your puppy grow before they can leave, usually 8 weeks of age unless tiny, AND during your visit meet the parents!

To those interested in a Malti-poo, our deposit lists fill up fast and many of our Malti-poos are already reserved before birth. Take the time to consider a Yorkie-poo. They are very similar in temperament and appearance. I have put together a slideshow to compare the two breeds. Just click upper left of black and tanYorkie Poo in greens in picture just above.

Upcoming Malti-Poos:​ We strongly recommend a visit and reservation if you want a Malti- Poo this year as they are very popular. **Click link below for more info.www.ariasfriends.com/malti-poos.html
